Gaining and gaining and gaining...and only 8 weeks

skotek602

I feel like I am packing on the pounds and I'm only 8 weeks along. Does anyone else feel that way? I know its different for everyone but its kind of getting to me. Seems too early to be feeling so heavy. I am tired all the time and barely feel like working out, but I force myself most days.

It could be poop and water weight.  The first few weeks I was so constipated I gained 6 pounds.  Now, I'm up a total of 3 since the beginning.  I wouldnt worry about it.

I wouldn't worry about it.  It is probably just water weight.  I feel like I've gained a ton of weight.  My clothes barely fit.  But surprisingly I've lost weight!

This. Well, I am maintaining weight.   I think mine is due to constipation and the fact that my food just sits and sits.  I get heart burn or stomache/bloated feeling every time I eat.  I can't wait for the first tri to be over so that if I am bloated, it's because of the baby not my GI issues.

its probably bloat.

Yes, I feel the same way. I think part of it is the fact that I can't go to the bathroom! I've tried stool softeners, lots of fiber, and lots of water and still nothing. Uggghhhh.

With DS I gained FAST in the first trimester, easily 10 lbs right out of the gate.  It slowed way down and the rest was basically baby and some fluid.  I gained a total of 25-30.  I'm trying not to freak out because I seem to be doing the same in this one.  I'm already up 7 lbs.  I call it my first trimester protective layer...and mine is lots of fluid and some fat too.  Oh, well....it'll come off!

I'm already up about 5 or 6, but I feel like SO much more.  I am so bloated, I can barely fit into my clothes!

This for me as well.  None of my clothes fit, but I've lost about 10 lbs since BFP and I haven't gained any back.  

Right now, I feel like I'm ALWAYS hungry, but nothing I have in my house looks good to eat.  I survive on toast, chocolate soy milk, cereal and the occasional baked potato and sometimes bananas.

I ve gained about 8 lbs.  I haven't been hungrier than normal so Im just attributing it to water weight or my metabolism slowing down.
